Reading Challenge

Get a list of book suggestions from your friends. From those suggestions choose between five and ten books that you will read in 2013. Make a list of the books that you will read and a few alternates.
And the other instructions can be found on Jane's site.

My list:Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery Anne of Avonlea (these two with Maggie) Mara, Daughter of the Nile by Eloise Jarvis McGrawLove Divine by Alan Kornacki
Mitford's Out to Canaan by Jan KaronChrist Have Mercy by Matt Harrison

The list that someone else made for me:Lutheran Catechesis by Bender Old Testament Catechesis by BenderNew Testament Catechesis by BenderBible Stories for Daily Prayer by Fabrizius

Alternates:Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid UndsetTo Kill a Mockingbird by Harper LeeLuther, the Reformer by James KittelsonThe Right to Be Wrong by Seamus Hasson On Being a Theologian of the Cross by FordeLuther on Vocation by Wingren

Well, I've never before set up a reading challenge for myself. Many of my friends do so annually. I am jealous. But Jane has devised a teeny-tiny reading challenge (possibly just to encourage me, because she loves me). I may not be up to the challenge; I may fail. BUT I have a shot at it -- unlike most reading challenges which are entirely out of the realm of possibility. Unless I want to quit homeschooling, quit cooking, quit cleaning, quit choir, quit gardening, and quit editing. And I don't wanna quit those things. So Mini Reading Challenge, here I come!
